View source for Mylyn/OSLC Connectors

The [http://open-services.net Open Services for Lifecycle Collaboration] (OSLC) is an open (creative commons) REST based service specification aimed at improving/simplifying Application Lifecycle Management (ALM) system integration. 

A number of aspects of ALM integration are covered by OSLC ranging from Requirements Management to Automation(Build/Deploy). The OSLC Change Management (CM) spec outlines a standard for creating, modifying, and querying for change requests (tasks) from OSLC based service providers. A goal of the Mylyn project is to implement a client for OSLC-CM (see [https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=296068]). Additionally, support for both OSLC Automation and OSLC SCM are part of the Mylyn restructuring proposal:

Once these plans have solidified, we can begin to fill out the roadmaps for each specification.
